Like my book, "Into the Mystic (From the Streets of Brooklyn)," this blog is devoted to discussions of "The Mystic" -- that expanded state of awareness where we connect with Spirit and experience other realities. As Spirit brought me to 9/11 Trtuh, discussions of what really happened on 9/11, and related deep events, are also covered.

A Down to Earth Spiritual Journey

Garry Gewant’s “…Journey from Atheism to Spirituality” is a wonderful
nonfiction work that discusses mystical topics in a down-to-earth fashion. All of the narratives are quite intriguing and
entertaining.I highly recommend this
book to anyone interested in Spirituality, mediumship, reincarnation,
metaphysics, the workings of the Universe, and the like.

Interestingly, the pages of the book are not divided into
chapters, but into “Life Lessons,” e.g., “Life Lesson 5,” instead of “Chapter
5.” I especially like how the episodes within each “Life Lesson” are at times broken
up into short (non-fiction) stories that you can usually finish even if you
only have a tiny period of time to relax and read.

Garry’s perspectives regarding the third eye, sixth sense, “skeptic
vs cynic,” the Universe, etc., are all, in my view, highly accurate.I also found Garry’s philosophical
statements to be in sync with the core shamanic beliefs that form a cornerstone
of my own spirituality.Further, the
author’s descriptions of the experiences he’s had with Spirit contact,
synchronicities, hearing voices, and feeling those “familiar chills,” all ring
true.

Garry’s accounts of how he goes from a tortured super market
employee and smoker, to teacher, hypnotherapist, medium, author, and
non-smoker, are unique and enjoyable.The
stories about Garry’s father and the ramifications of his (and Garry’s own)
smoking—are moving. The narrative about the metaphysical school
trip (page 18 et seq) is spectacular, a showstopper. There are other
showstoppers as well, but I can’t get into all of them here.

One fascinating account I must mention is the story of Garry’s
connection to Brian Weiss, the penultimate past-life regression expert. It was
at an upstate New York Spiritual education center called “Omega” where Garry met,
and studied with, Dr. Weiss.It was also
at Omega that Garry and I met, as you can read beginning with “Another Life
Lesson - # 57.”I remember that event
very well, and Garry’s description of the event is wholly accurate—providing more
evidence of the honesty and integrity that is an essence of Garry as I know
him, and that comes thru in his book.

“THE END OF THE BOOK
But not the journey” wraps things up nicely on page 317, but Garry continues on
to discuss the importance of family, providing further insight to who he is—a wonderful
family man, who also just happens to be a gifted medium.
